Ready to eat in less than 30 minutes…yummy:)

This is another of my fast; simple; cheap; healthy and most importantly delicious recipes!

Pumpkin seed tahini is another product, same as sunflower seed butter– that is very expensive in shops but can be easily made at home:) I have walked pass it many times, curious, tempted but totally put off by its price.

So, the day has come that I finally decided to try making it myself. It took me less than 30 minutes, and the result was absolutely mouthwatering:)

Recipe:

  • 3 cups of raw pumpkin seeds (amount depends on how much ‘tahini’ butter you want to make)
  • 1/4 cup of oil ( canola, olive, rice bran, linseed or any other oil you want to use- this amount is for a runny ‘tahini’, if you like it less runny reduce the amount of oil)
  • Pinch of salt (sea salt, Himalayan salt or normal salt- this one is optional as well)

Steps:

  1. Roast pumpkin seeds on a frying pan and let them cool down. Make sure you stand over it and mix it constantly to avoid burning the seeds.
  2. Add salt.
  3. Put roasted pumpkin seeds in your food processor, add desired amount of oil and mix until you get buttery texture.
  4. Pour it into a container and enjoy 🙂
